these suck in my experience, as it sounds like a 1980s cassette lol.

be careful with the add on ipod control boxes, they can crash your pod easily as the box has to ask the ipod to do something then tell the head unit the so on and so on. my friend tried one and had to factory reset his ipod five times :mad: that was panasonic tho so kenwood may be better.

your best bet would be to get a head unit that controls the pod directly, they're great imo, course for that cash you could just get a new cd player.


hope this rambling posts been some help to you.
